Fishing Tour in the Nicoya Peninsula, Costa Rica

If you love fishing, stunning views, and the peace of the ocean, this tour is for you!
Join us in Cabuya, Costa Rica, for a private fishing adventure led by Captain Douglas. Perfect for groups of up to six, this trip combines excitement, relaxation, and the beauty of the Nicoya Peninsula.

We offer two departure options: early morning for calm seas and active fish, or afternoon for golden sunsets over Cabo Blanco. During this 3.5-hour experience, you’ll troll and cast in the deep waters of the Pacific as well as near the reefs, where schools of fish thrive. Expect to catch favorites like Mahi-mahi, Roosterfish, Snapper, Mackerel, Tuna, and more.

All fishing equipment is included, and to make your trip even more enjoyable, we provide beer, water, and fresh fruit—so you can simply relax and focus on the thrill of the catch. Along the way, enjoy encounters with sea birds, breathtaking coastal scenery, and the unmatched tranquility of Costa Rica’s Pacific Ocean.

Availability depends on the moon calendar—book early to secure your spot!
